As predicted by me a few months ago with powers of prophecy that would shame Mother Shipton and Nostradamus,(see 'better than the sack race' thread), Glenn Roeder now has the job of leading Norwich out of the relegation zone.
 
During his interview Glenn stated: "I like a challenge and I am ready for it".  and
 
"I've been in this sort of position before and always managed to turn it around".
 
Turn it around!!!???
 
His time at Newcastle could be classed as ok, but as for turning around clubs in a relegation dog fight hmmmmm:
 
Glenn Roeder - the man who "turned around" Watford by steering them into the relegation zone in 1996 getting sacked and Watford getting relegated anyway.
 
Or Gillingham 93 - narrowly avoided getting relegated under Roeder.
 
Or assistant at Burnley where he and Chris Waddle managed to push Burnley into the relegation zone 97-98 again narrowly avoiding relegation.
 
And of course West Ham 2003 even with Brooking taking over West Ham dropped out  of the premiership and Roeder was sacked shortly afterwords.
 
How do you confuse "turn it around" with "screwing it up"?

Oh yeah that was some pretty fast post deletion today even if I thought my Serbia Superliga was quite a witty response. I'm assuming it was you that deleted that post about Phoenix defense being likened to a form of....?

Roeder has the ability to turn it around 360 degrees!
 
Affectionately known by Burnley fans as "the Sinister One", Norwich could well be celebrating an extended Halloween!

Nope, not me, but there are plenty of us about these day... and yes, a Tractor Boy (well after NZ football and the Phoenix though).
